* Ball Hoop Toss *

Come one come all!!! Step right up and try to get the ball in the hoop!!! Who doesn't love anything to do with bouncing balls and a hoop ring net. I chose this activity to do with the children because our class loves balls an they even more love throwing the balls.

What You Will Need

In this activity you will need balls and a hoop net whether its store bought or you decided to be creative and make your own.


   

After you have these materials together you let them choose their ball an let them throw and try to make the hoop. We had different types of balls smooth, spikey, and fabric balls so they could have their own choice in what ball they would like to use.



This activity was chosen because my children in class love balls and loves to do things with them whether they are throwing, rolling, bouncing, etc. Although I was not able to get an exact shot of them throwing at the hoop they enjoyed it very much so that they wanted to keep tossing the balls until lunchtime. This activity may seem like a simple thing to do but it helps them with their gross motor and also sensory because of the different feels of the balls. I would definitely keep this as an activity to do with them. Next time I could add in rolling the ball under the hoop and tossing it over the hoop. This activity I think is an open ended activity because their is so many different ways you can use the hoop and balls.
